Task force to address use of Seattle Community College District Facilities
for First Amendment Activities

As promised in my April 9 letter to you regarding proposed rules governing public forums at our colleges,
I am convening a taskforce to examine our procedures to ensure that we are upholding First Amendment rights while
respecting all Seattle Community Colleges constituents. It is my belief that we can work together to uphold
First Amendment rights and those of our students to pursue their education in a safe, healthy environment.

Jill A. Wakefield
Chancellor

Task Force Purpose and Expected Outcomes

Presidents nominate representatives from their communities,
e.g., from local business community or local community organization.
AFT-Seattle and WFSE-Seattle may each nominate up to 2 representatives.
